[112]
"The Fully Enlightened One (sambuddha), golden-hued, like the hundred-rayed, radiant sun,
illuminating all the quarters, like the full moon, the king of stars —
attended by his disciples as the earth is by the sea¹ —
holding up a nāga flower with its pollen (reṇu), I offered it to Vipassī.
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now, since I made worship with that pollen,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
Forty-five aeons from now there was a warrior-noble (khattiya) named Reṇu,
endowed with the seven treasures (sattaratana), a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled."
Thus indeed did the Venerable Reṇupūjaka the Elder speak these verses.
The Apadāna of Reṇupūjaka the Elder is concluded.
